speedy 32 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 Worth a mention - at it's recent service, there was a rattle coming from under the car. Turns out that 2 of the 3 bolts which hold the center of the exhaust in place had vanished, and the third was loose. Standard Toyota exhaust.Might be worth a check.

GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 They worked loose as they know the exhaust needs upgrading! :32 (17): Saves you the effort of undoing them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 sounds a bit dodgy, will have to check mine... mind you i want to get it replaced anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 Any thoughts on what you might go with, Rob? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 Nope, spoilt for choice! I was hoping to have gone to the exhaust meet but me being me i had arrived home at 8am from a night out in london that morning so i decided to go to the local cafe instead :32 (25):H&S is a good choice, as they are nearby... alternatively i could get Mark @ Abbey to order something in and get something fitted there as he is only 15 minutes from me. I haven't got the money yet anyway. I'm so bad at saving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 Mark is doing the Cobra and I was impressed with the quality... and with the sound. H&S is disappointing -sound is spectacular but I have 'blow' marks on welds at the rear bifurcation into the two rear silencers and the manifold is a disaster - I've trashed it, cost me 6-10bhp and £900 with the HFC installed. It's no longer important, however, as I'm going turbo, I'm fed up with this lack of torque...penny to a pinch of sh*t that'll be the next TRD upgrade, the angst of yobs in GTI's flashing past is suicidal.

Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 4, 2014 I lost one of mine while at Lauren's, I could hear a rattle/buzz at around 4000rpm and while stationary outside her place, I started to rev the engine and I could hear the rattle again but all of a sudden PING and it stopped rattling. Thought it was a stone in the exhaust that was rattling and shot out but turned out to be one of the bolts (the one with the spring on the flex joint gasket).
